Summary:

This guide considers how to be inclusive of community in research. Reviewing and critiquing traditional ways of doing research, the guide specifically takes the reader through the colonial history of research, research on Indigenous and local communities, parachute science, and the false promises of universality and objectivity that hinder inclusive research practices. The guide then moves on to explore opportunities to pursue research with, not on, communities, through community-based, transdisciplinary, and participatory research. Some crucial considerations are attention to ethics work, reflexivity, and positionality, which can assist researchers in pursuing equitable and genuine research collaborations with communities as co-researchers. Providing examples from real research, the guide then suggests practical ways in which research processes and research reporting can be inclusive and beneficial for all involved, not just the researchers. These practical steps involve co-designing the research methods and objectives, co-producing knowledge through sharing and analysis, and co-disseminating the final results and stories emanating from the research process together with co-researchers. These steps should be adapted to context and to the needs and interests of the co-researchers, and consider aspects such as potential clashes of worldviews, reflection and learning, and inclusive knowledge valuation.
